TORONTO — Newly launched on Travelweek’s Learning Centre is the Colombia Specialist Program, available in English and French.

The course offers an opportunity for travel agents to learn about Colombia, the “most welcoming destination on earth.”

A diverse South American country, Colombia features many regions to suit a wide range of travellers, including mountain ranges, vast plains, lush rainforests, and world-famous beaches.

Álvaro Concha, ProColombia’s Trade Comissioner for Canada says: “Colombia is not far away. It is only six hours away from Toronto and seven hours away from Montreal on a direct flight to Bogotá. For those looking to find a home away from home, visit Colombia and check it out!”

Agents who take the course will learn about Colombia’s six unforgettable regions: West Colombian Andes, Greater Colombian Caribbean, Colombian Pacific, Eastern Colombian Andes, Colombian Amazon-Orinoco and Colombian Massif.

The program is split up into various modules, covering general country info, details on regions and activities, luxury offerings and more.

Additionally, agents can learn more about Copa Airlines, a leading airline in Latin America, connecting travellers from Canada to the 11 cities within its route network.

The now-live training program offers all the information agents need to know to help sell and promote Colombia, from the country’s climate and practical information, to the exciting experiences and can’t-miss opportunities for travellers.

“Colombia is a highly multicultural country. And just like Canadians, Colombians are always ready to welcome outsiders with open arms and a welcoming smile, which is why we believe ‘Colombia is the most welcoming place on Earth’,” says Concha.

Agents who complete the course by July 18, 2022 will be entered for a chance to win two air tickets to Colombia.
